Re: Fwd: yum rollback !!

hi Fajar
yes , i actually didn't know that , but what if we make use of the
system file database to trace back all the file changes that happened
after the rollback date and then trace back these files to RPM
packages using the databases in the repositiories, ...that would be
fast and a more correct way of doing it ??
what say ?
